We had a great season of Head Racing, and we are excited to get into a winter training program!  

We will have a few more days of water time before we begin our transition to indoor training.

Thanks to all the parents who donated so much of their time and energy to helping out the squad during these cold, rainy, and sometimes snowy races!  


Below is a slide-show of parent-provided photos of Sunday's events.  Please note the 'full screen' option to view the photos in all their full screen glory!

We will see you all in the spring!
